João Vitor Dauzaker de Souza is also a member of the PCO and received R$ 126,000 for the provision of technicalprofessional services. He shares posts that classify Hamas’ actions as selfdefense. In the most recent publication, Souza reposted a photo with a critical caption on the left. “The left, which does not defend Hamas, must explain to us how the Palestinians will confront Israel. With flowers and a rejection letter?” the message says.
The PCO has organized events in São Paulo in support of Hamas’ role in the war against Israel. Party leader Rui Costa Pimenta has already publicly stated that he agrees “1000%” with Hamas.
